I’m no softy when it comes to political machinations and manipulations, but I was stunned and disappointed that someone who was standing for a position of trust and authority would use defamation, slur and the conduct of his son in to wheedle out of his agreement.

By this point, since Dickert didn't run from the bully, lawyers probably cost him more! Now I've heard he blames Dikcert for his loss - what a load. I hate to see a Repub. win, but Massa's loss was an indictment of his character, not a reflection of legal cases.
